Standing on the first teeMy stomach began to churnNerves got the better of meAs I went to take my turn

Don’t worry where it goesI keep saying in my mindThere’s four of usIt’ll be easy to find

Just being on the first teeAfter so much timeBetter than being cooped upTrying to write a rhymeWalking from the tee

Things didn’t work out to badI was neither happyBut definitely not sadMay not have gone too farAs I would’ve liked

Then it’s not over the fenceSo, no need to take a hikeJust being on the first teeIs what we have waited for

Seven weeks have gone byWithout losing a single ballNot too worried if that happensAs it’s really not all about the score

Just being on the first teeIs what we have all being waiting for
